• lvm_logical_volume[datalv] action nothing (skipped due to action :nothing)
• lvm_volume_group[datavg] action create
  • chef_gem[datavg_di-ruby-lvm-attrib_removal] action remove (up to date)
  • chef_gem[datavg_di-ruby-lvm_removal] action remove (up to date)
  • lvm_logical_volume[datalv] action create

this is the output and it takes time to comeout When I ran the recipe. I need to kill the recipe to comeout from the execution.

When I kill the process i got the below

• lvm_volume_group[datavg] action create

  • chef_gem[datavg_di-ruby-lvm-attrib_removal] action remove (up to date)
  • chef_gem[datavg_di-ruby-lvm_removal] action remove (up to date)
  • lvm_logical_volume[datalv] action create^C[2018-09-11T00:56:32+00:00] FATAL: SIGINT received, stopping

Hi @santoshpatha12
Bumping this old question, as I am running into the same issue, where my chef process gets stuck whenever it tries to create a logical volume and doesn't return the control back . In the background it is indeed creating the logical volume, but I can see that the processes for chef and lvcreate are hung.

Were you able to resolve this somehow?
